Twenty-twentyone

Song - Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springfield

 


 Happy New Year!


Here's to a year when we can hopefully start hugging again.


And dining with family & friends sharing our stories and love.


Hold on tight to the small, important things that make us happy...


...a sunrise...

...puppy love...

....a meal cooked with love...

...a frosty morning spent by the fire...

...a long walk by the ocean...

...live music..

...traveling to far off places and getting to know the people who live there...

...a little cabin in the woods (and I know just the one for me!)...

...a child's laughter...

...a great book...

...a road trip...

...the joy of seeing people smile again!

 

Whatever makes you happy, I hope you find it in this New Year!!!

 

"You are never to old 

to set another goal 

or to dream a new dream."

Song - In the Air Tonight - by Phil Collins Cover by Sierra Eagleson





Today I spent some time reflecting on this past year....2019.  The very best part was becoming a Grandma and watching my son, Andy and daughter-in-law, Ashley grow into amazing parents.  Mr. B and Uncle Tyler bring tears to my eyes as Henry delights them with his happiness and love. I have also felt the dearness of my middle son Jon who phones me and his Grandmother several times a week and has been a rock for his girlfriend though some very tough family times. My mom (almost 91) is so fun to watch caring for her ever growing family.  She has been a true inspiration!

Happy New Year to You

May it bring you Peace, Love and Joy....

A Wild New Years Eve

Song - Celtic New Year by Van Morrison









On New Year's Eve Day Mr. B got us some great yummy sandwiches from our neighborhood deli Morucci's and I packed a picnic basket with Prosecco, linen napkins, crystal goblets, chips and cookies.  We picked up my mom & her sweet dog Buddy and headed to Danville.



Past the town of Danville and out towards Mt. Diablo where there is still farm land, cows, wild turkeys, deer and sheep.



Did I mention that the sky was a brilliant blue but it was cold and oh so windy?  Brrr......it truly felt like winter! 



Our destination was the Tassajara One Room Schoolhouse on Finley Road because I knew it had picnic tables and some history that my mom probably did not know about. But it was oh so cold!




Mom spotted a little wooden table inside the "garage" so that we were protected from the wind but could stand in the sunshine and eat our lunch.




Narcissus bulbs surround the property and are about to burst out.  Buddy sniffed and explored but even he was chilled. We popped the bubbly and toasted to the New Year then.....




...... we took a quick little photo shoot while the wind whipped our hair and we hurried to the warmth of the car.




And enjoyed the Oaks and hills with the heater on!





....and the variety of animals nearby......(one is a lama and the rest are goats or sheep).
